Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox park Bradlaugh Fields is a Шаблон:Convert open space in Northampton.[1] The site is a former golf course. In 1987 it was proposed to build housing on the site, but after a campaign by local residents it was acquired by Northampton Borough Council and opened as a wildlife park in 1998. It was named after Charles Bradlaugh, a leading nineteenth century radical and atheist who was MP for Northampton.[2] Three fields with a total area of 17.5 hectares are managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire as a nature reserve also called Bradlaugh Fields.[3] Hills and Holes is at the southern end and two adjoining meadows, Scrub Field and Quarry Field, are at the northern end.[4] Hills and Holes is an 8.3 hectare Local Nature Reserve (LNR)[5][6] and Scrub Field is a Шаблон:Convert LNR.[7][8]
Bradlaugh Fields nature reserve has ancient hedgerows and unimproved grassland. Birds include blue tits, chiffchaffs, great spotted woodpeckers, sparrowhawks, redwings and fieldfares.[3] Hill and Holes is an ancient disused quarry which has grassed ridges and hollows, some of them steeply sloping. There are a variety of habitats including limestone grassland.[5] Scrub Field has a diverse selection of wild flowers, including Knautia arvensis and knapweed in higher areas, and bird's-foot trefoil and yellow rattle lower down.[7]
There is access to Hills and Holes from Kettering Road, and other access points include a footpath from Aintree Road which passes between Scrub Field and Quarry Field.
